Thank you, thank you.

I had just checked the vmware newsgroups for any info on this problems and 
there was nothing.  It is strange that the update fixes the kernel problem 
even though there is nothing about it on the newsgroups (or maybe it is older 
message than I looked at).

How did you come to try the update or do you always just apply the updates?
